After disappearing to the back of the school, I tried to calm down. My colour was changing from black to red to black again and sometimes it was a mix of both. I wanted to go back and rip his head off for trying to claim me as his mate. I was so focused on being in my head, I didn't even notice Jackson speaking to me.

The next thing I felt were strong arms wrapped around my, holding me close. I sighed in content and Ana purred softly. Then I smelled something familiar. The scent of the wolf I met the other day. Elliot.

Mate!

I heard Ana say excitedly. She wanted so bad to take control but I wouldn't let her. My anger came back strong as I shoved Jackson off of me. I shifted into a wolf form, ripping my clothes in the process. I ran away from the school and I heard pounding feet behind me. I focused on running back to my house, outrunning good the wolf behind me.

I heard a howl and I looked back to see where it came from which cause me to trip and get distracted. That in turn, allowed the other wolf to catch up to me. It was Elliot's smell so I tried to get up but he jumped on me, pinning me down.

Shift, I heard through the mind link.

Fuck you, I shouted back.

Oh you will, soon enough. Now shift! Elliot start baring his teeth when another wolf came and tackled him off of me.

Stella! Are you alright? I heard Jackson's voice through the mind link next.

Yeah. This bitch is crazy! Let's go back to my place.

Ok. I'm right behind you. Lead the way.

Fine. Just don't stare at my ass too much.

Jackson's wolf James whines a little in disapproval and I laughed in my head. We took off towards my house and we got there within a few minutes. Damn, werewolves are fast. Jackson and I raced to get home and see who was faster and I beat him by about twenty seconds.

Stay out here. I'll be a few minutes, I said through the mind link. I trotted around to the back and jumped up to the ledge to get to my window like last time. After making sure Jackson didn't follow me, I shifted and opened the window.

I pulled on a bathrobe and grabbed another pair of jeans, some black flats and a plain black v-neck. Then I went to Cole's room and got a pair of jeans and a t-shirt for Jackson along with a pair of tennis shoes. I put both sets into separate plastic bags so we could carry them in wolf form. I opened the front door and saw Jackson sitting there patiently. I threw him his bag and closed the door behind me.

"Don't shift. We're just gonna change back at school."

Jackson nodded and picked up his bag. I turned around and set my robe carefully on my shoulders so I could shift without tearing it. I shifted into my wolf and Jackson let out a small howl.

What's that all about, huh?

Nothing. Stella, your wolf is hot.

Thanks, Jack.

Who was that?

Really, Ana? It was just my wolf. She's kinda...

Crazy like you?

Yep. Pretty much. Ok we should get to school. I'll just say you were showing me around.

Ehh. That's probably not gonna work. It's a tight knit school. Everybody knows everything that happens within the hour of it happening.

Great. More drama. I couldn't have just not had a mate.

Jackson laughed as we started running back. My fur started turning pink again.

Hey, Stella? Why does your fur change colours? You hair, skin and eyes, too?

Something to do with my powers. They are based on my emotions so they bare it all. I got really pissed at Elliot's dad and my arms started flaming.

Like just red or actually on fire?

On fire. I shifted to my wolf and everything was fiery red.

Damn. That's hot.

Wow. Dumb pun.

Yeah I know.

After a few minutes we arrived at the school again. I went behind the corner and Jackson went behind a tree. I shifted back and got dressed quickly when a hand was pressed over my mouth and I was slammed into the wall.

"Really, Elliot?"
